Babygirl, unpack yr sweaters and get FABULOUS in FALL gay homo queer &c 2012

aaah goon tie's experience = any time i have to leave the house

when i'm actually *travelling* (like, if it involves a suitcase and a train out of london/flight) it's actually easier because i'm so paranoid - if it's just getting myself together to go into town, that's pretty much my default setting :( i do love travelling and wish i could do more of it, though.

bf goes travelling in every school holiday, basically. he likes getting away from it all and going to out-of-the-way countryside places on a whim to do nothing. it's funny how completely opposite we are, when i travel i gravitate towards cities and places where shit happens and i start to fret if i'm out of range of one for too long.

i hate, hate, hate xmas and particularly resent it this year. alone and housebound is my dream as well. when people tell me to stop being a grinch i'm just like, i'm happy for u that u have a tolerable family, but also fuck off. NYE otoh (and the week leading up to it) is the celebration of my urban family, my friends, the people i consider my real family tbh. every day from the 28th through to NYE is packed out now and i can't wait :)

i used to really love xmas (i was still making xmas chains when i was like, seventeen) but i've cooled on it considerably as an adult and the having to buy presents part hasn't even registered with me yet. really relieved i'm doing my traveling post-NYD, may just do this forever from now on

xmas chains

hmmmmmm?

you rip one off for each day leading up to xmas

ah, maybe not as widespread a practice in my burg of youth

Best part of Xmas is buds in town. Just got.invited to.karaoke with two newly single women and their gay pal, who I intend to purloin from his boyfriend

can't you just put it in a stocking for a week?

The boyfriend?

I'm excited to see all my brothers
I'll try and get a photo
They are all exceptionally handsome and tall (even more so when I'm standing amongst them)

That is, they all tower over me and I'm six feet :/

^exact same thing with all my cousins on my mom's side of the family. whenever i get together with them i just feel like fuck you, 6'0 means i'm not supposed to be the runt

after much prodding, bf finally convinced me to grow my first beard.

9 days without a cigarette and i am starting to realize wow my bedroom smells like a couple of sweaty gay dudes, i'd crack a window but they're sealed shut for the season

nothing special but it certainly feels strange :)

i hate the holidays mostly because i don't enjoy spending too much time with my family, and i thought i was going to have to go through that torture this year, but alas, the job is keeping me with my real family— friends. perhaps lex and i have found a common ground, then.

scruff is an A+ look on you lou :)

Not much isn't.

Lou: ONE OF US ONE OF US

nice!

This is the wrong place for a song ID but I figured I'd pose it to the gays because a) it's a little embarrassing, b) I have no idea if the song is like totally famous and I'm an idiot, and c) the song is relevant to thread.

But I can't find the song anywhere

A music video I saw only once when I was a teenager. The song was, I thought, called "Farmer" and had a woman singing about how farmers were hot. She ran her fingers up and down a farmer's sixpack in a cornfield. I think it was a dancehall song but my mind was being blown so my memory is hazy.

would watch.

perhaps lex and i have found a common ground, then.

i swear there was one (1) before this, iirc it was to do with hating something or other

The Lost Horizon musical disaster of '73 is out on BR/DVD... I wonder how many times KJB has watched it.

Larry Kramer wrote the screenplay. THAT one.

Didn't even mention it in my review because I guess he only did it so he could effectively retire from that line of work and turn, instead, to researching the fact that every great American throughout history was actually gay.

aren't you kinda mashing him up w/ Frau Ehrenstein? He was kinda busy w/ ACT UP too.

I own the double-gatefold vinyl sndtrk of LH. Have never played it.

I do remember "Living Together, Growing Together" on AM radio tho

Wasn't it Kramer who was working on that 10,000 page almanac of gay American history?

Is Lost Horizon '73 fascinating bad or just bad bad? Like, should I bother?

You don't wanna watch Liv Ullman sing?

Ugh, my backlog of movies I need to watch is imposing enough without you dangling a singing Liv Ullman in front of me.

it's Ullmann, u naifs

This isn't bad enough to be good. Ullmann without a context of Scandinavian depression is like a black hole on the screen.

Ebert: "The dancers march about and twirl their scarves as is Leni Reifenstahl's 'Triumph of the Will' had somehow been gotten pregnant by Busby Berkeley."

*as if

I dunno, if this does anything for you, then I guess take the plunge:

We have a houseguest but he is staying on our couch and he is staying for like a month or so and he is sort of there on the couch all the time, and he is so nice and awesome and etc but like jeez I wish I had the house to myself during the day like I usually do

I went to bed at 3 a.m. last night after karaoke with a friend, several Newcastles and G&Ts, and a valedictory bowl while listening to Saint Etienne and King Sunny Ade. The holidays, they call it.

sry we're too busy pressing our bodies against naked men to notice how cold it is WINTER THREAD gay homo queer &c 2013
